Darn. If a sig is over about 16 characters it breaks this template by forcing it to be longer than a userbox. Is there any solution to this I wonder. Herostratus 04:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Based on the US Weather Service's maritime warning flags. 5=no warning 4=small craft warning 3=gale warning 2=storm warning 1=hurricane warning. Adopted in the 1950's and until recently flown at US Coast Guard stations etc. Admittedly US-centric. Also, the double flags would be flown on one pole, but that made the graphic too tall...

A tabbed version. It includes everything, but is meant to be compact... will probably improve visual appearance later. There is also an option, "type" (for lack of better parameter name in actual code), default at 100%, that determines the width of the template. It can be anything like 100% or 300px, but keeping the width above 40% or 250px should make the tabs be proportional on computer monitors with lower display resolution. Above, it's at 50%, with a center align. Gracenotes^T § 20:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Microtony's version: {{Wdefcon|prefix=User:Microtony/}}

This one's size is about two userboxes (but a bit taller). Images are made by me. Codes based on Herostratus' version and modified a bit. - Microtony 12:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

The new version of the deprecated {{Wikihermitalert}}. Note that it works because User:Magnus animum/Wdefcon redirects to the page containing the actual code, User:Animum/Vandalism information.

[edit] Another Template

This doesnt fit in the template catagory because its abotu a template for sometihng else. I created a template using most of the vandalism code and the vandalism images exept it doesn trelate to vandalism. It is a wiki "Community Defcon Meter". It shows the possibilty of hostilities worldwide based on the communities input. It is recomended that DEFCON levels only be changed in major events or series of events. The page for it is at User:Npop/www .

[edit] AIV

I see a lot of level-changing simply based upon how many reports are at AIV. Am I missing something, or is that the main reasoning for many changes in the levels? Jmlk17 02:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

It's not the only reason. It's based on what RC patrollers see in the recent changes. Sometimes a user will make note of a backlog at AIV, which usually indicates increased vandalism, especially from schools during those hours. Justin^(c)_(u) 02:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why I raised it to defcon 1

Instead of reverting, I just kept going through the edits huggle gave to me. Out of 50 edits, 49 were vandalism. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I thought huggle only showed edits that looked like vandalism? 49 vandalism edits out of 50 shown simply shows that huggle was very accurate. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 03:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, normally around 50-75% are vandalisms, but that day was just ridiculous. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why is it protected?

Would be more telling if it wasn't. Zlllll (talk) 02:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey, why is is all faded down here at the bottom of the talk page?

This doesn't have anything to do with the template, but I was wondering how this happened. Someone the Person (talk) 01:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

That's odd. I don't see it now, and I don't remember what I saw specifically... Someone the Person (talk) 21:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another variation?!

Can we make another variation of this template that is based on a thermometer? Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 02:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
